Paoli, Simplicial Methods for Higher Categories: Segal-Type Models of We= ak n-Categories, Algebra and Applications 26, Springer 2019 https://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783030056735 This is a research monograph introducing a new model of higher categories, = called weakly globular n-fold categories, and proving its equivalence with = the Tamsamani-Simpson model. The book also contains an introduction to high= er category theory and a detailed background chapter on multi-simplicial te= chniques, rendering the material relatively self-contained and accessible t= o researchers entering the area. I hope the book will be of interest both = to category theorists and algebraic topologists. Best wishes, Simona.
